Abstract

To accurately simulate the biomimetic motion and postures of occupants during collision tests, this study proposes a system with active degrees of freedom in the arms of automotive collision-test dummies. The proposed system implements linear and dual motor drive mechanisms to facilitate arm bending at the elbow joint. During automotive collision testing, the system controls the arm's flexion and extension postures, ensuring precise reflection of the effectiveness of automotive occupant protection systems, thereby enhancing the test validity. Simultaneously, a kinematic model is established for the designed arm system.
